#IsraelIranConflict The Israel-Iran conflict escalated sharply on June 13, 2025, as Israel launched airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites and military commanders, sparking fears of regional war. Described as "preemptive strikes" against Iran's nuclear threat, the attacks followed stalled U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Iran vowed retaliation, threatening U.S. bases and Israeli nuclear sites. Tensions, rooted in decades-long ideological and security disputes, intensified after Iran’s missile attacks on Israel in 2024. Global oil prices surged over 10%, and markets faced uncertainty. The U.S., denying involvement, urged restraint, while diplomats scrambled to prevent further escalation. The conflict risks destabilizing the Middle East, with potential global economic and security implications.
